recently; Ive posted a similar message of installing several horse waterers with the last load(s) 800+ ft away from a breaker source. I'm not sure what the accceptble E-drop should not exceed. (5%?) The total load may increase (taken middle of run) in the future, but for now is 1k+watts(250w each unit 500+watts per circuit). I'm not sure if these waterers should be derated any, depends on outside temps. I calculated 100% load @800+ ft 2 cks w/ shared nuetral, with a formula shows #8 or 6 copper esp for future waterers even figuring derating loads. I'de dout #10 could be used from the source, except when branched off the main line to a single load. Ive got to figure additional wateres could be added even @the longest run. Could anyone enlighten me on this?
